Jimmy Donaldson, famously known as Mr Beast from the USA, has officially made history by becoming the most subscribed male individual on YouTube with his channel Mr Beast, boasting an astonishing 112,193,139 subscribers as of November 17, 2022.
Mr Beast surpassed the previous record held by PewDiePie, aka Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg from Sweden, in a neck-and-neck race for subscribers. With over 112 million subscribers, Mr Beast achieved a milestone never before reached by an individual on the platform.
Notably, Mr Beast also boasts four other channels, each with over 10 million subscribers, with his MrBeast Gaming channel being the second-largest with 29.5 million subs.
Since joining YouTube in 2012, Mr Beast has amassed 18.5 billion views on his videos. His most popular upload, “Squid Game in real life,” garnered 304 million views and featured a cash prize of $456,000 USD for the winner.
Renowned for his generosity, Mr Beast frequently surprises his subscribers with extravagant prizes and charitable giveaways. His philanthropic efforts extend to his charity, Mr Beast Philanthropy, which has over 10 million subscribers on YouTube.
Despite PewDiePie’s decade-long reign as the most subscribed individual on YouTube, Mr Beast’s rapid growth on the platform, with a recent increase of 6 million subscribers in just 30 days, has solidified his position as a top creator.
While T-series currently holds the overall record for the most subscribers on YouTube, Mr Beast’s continued ascent suggests that he may soon surpass even more milestones, possibly closing in on T-series’ record in the future
